Best affordable seniors housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LOS ANGELES: The shortlist for the best affordable seniors housing design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
The developer who successfully transformed a former WESTHELP site on the grounds of Westchester Community College in Greenburgh into a 74-unit affordable housing complex for seniors age 62 and older wants to add another 62 units.
Developer Mark Soja of the Marathon Development Group in Peekskill has gone to the Greenburgh Town Board seeking to work with it on the environmental review for the proposed expansion, with the Town Board acting as lead agency for the review. The land is owned by Westchester County and is located within the Town of Greenburgh. Greenburgh’s approval of the site plan is not necessary because of the county’s jurisdiction. Greenburgh supported Soja’s first senior housing plan at the site.
The Global Award winner will be announced in April in London. (Globals)
